Million-copy best-selling creator of the "Incredible Cross-Sections" series now brings his talent to a new challenge: Ancient Rome.
"Rome in a Day" is set in 128 AD, on a festival day and follows one day in the life of a father and his 9-year-old son, Titus Cotta Maximus, as they spend a public holiday together in ancient Rome.
Spend the day with father and son as they awake and breakfast in their home; make their way down to the busy streets; follow the procession to the Temple of Jupiter; take in the game at the Colosseum; conduct some family business at the busy docks; relax at the Baths of Trajan; and watch the races at the Circus Maximus before returning home at the end of the evening. A very full day!
Detailed illustrations with explanatory captions and narrative text survey some sites in ancient Rome, including the house of a wealthy family, the Colosseum, the Baths of Trajan, and the Temple of Jupiter.

Rome: In Spectacular Cross Section
NONFICTION/INFORMATIONAL CATEGORY
Readers get to follow Titus and his father around on a feast day as they pass through some of the major sites in Rome, and some of the not-so major sites. Find out how the bathhouse works and when carts are allowed in the streets.
I thought this a cross between a picture book and an information book like Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World. Readers can peruse the pages at their leisure but the story is less than driving. Nothing of the subject matter classifies it to YA, but it is a gateway book that will help students to consider informational books as a source for future research.
